What is telehealth?
Telehealth is a virtual approach to health care, allowing you to get the diabetes support you need over the internet. You simply use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to connect with Kit through online video calls.
What does telehealth cover?
After you’re diagnosed with diabetes, you can access the following telehealth services:
Diabetes education
Diabetes education covers everything you need to know about diabetes, including how to control your blood sugar, how to monitor and measure your blood sugar, and personalized dietary changes, meal planning, and exercise tips.
Kit also provides instructions and support for using advanced diabetes technology, like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) tools.
Diabetes management
Diabetes management teaches you how to prevent high blood sugar and much more. It also includes preventing and treating the chronic diseases that often accompany diabetes, including high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), chronic kidney disease, heart disease, and foot ulcers.
Medical nutrition therapy
Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) focuses on using diet and nutrition to prevent and treat diabetes and the chronic diseases mentioned above. MNT includes in-depth nutrition evaluations, identifying your nutritional needs, and creating a nutrition plan to lower your blood sugar.
Weight loss management
Kit provides comprehensive weight loss management through telehealth. Being overweight or obese is among the top causes of diabetes (and other chronic diseases). Once diabetes develops, carrying extra pounds causes the disease to get worse at a faster pace.
Patient monitoring
Monitoring your blood sugar is essential to ensuring you stay healthy. It also gives Kit the information she needs to recommend changes in your treatment plan as soon as you show signs of fluctuating blood sugar.
Today’s blood glucose meters, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) tools, and insulin delivery systems send information to your smartphone, provide real-time and predictive information about your blood sugar, and can transmit your blood sugar data directly to Kit.
